Opening Password-Protected Files from SharePoint in Power BI Desktop
Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding the use of Power BI Desktop(RS Jan) in combination with SharePoint. Is it possible to open and process password-protected files stored on a SharePoint server directly in Power BI Desktop? If yes, what steps are necessary, and are there any specific settings or workarounds that need to be considered?
I have already tried to open a password-protected Excel file, but it didn't work. Also we use the Reportserver version from January.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Arne

No, just set the permissions on the item so that only the people you want to be able to access it can access it can access it. SharePoint permissions are solid.
